Originally built in 1878, the Clarkson W. Freeman House is close to everything in Springfield! On the Historical Register, the moment you step into this home you will feel like you're traveling back in time. From the original clawfoot tub to the elegant wallpapered rooms - every inch of this home is adorned with unique, historical charm.

The kitchen combines original pieces with modern conveniences such as a full-sized fridge, stove, and coffee station. The chef of your group will adore serving their culinary creations at the formal dining table, amongst the fine Chinaware and wood finishes.

True to its time period, there are multiple sitting rooms, the perfect places for tea and work - at the designated work desk. Additionally, the spacious living room features soft seating and a large TV. One bedroom with easy access to a bathroom is available on the main level.

Terrific blast from the past
This was an amazing place to stay. The second you step in, you feel like your teleported 150 years into the past. I loved all the original stuff they left in the house. Very cool vibes. You can tell the people that take care of this place, have a lot of pride in it. Great place to stay if your in Springfield, Indiana!
Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2023
